Read the excerpts from Dr. King's "Letter from Birmingham Jail and answer the question.
19] I have travelled the length and breadth of Alabama, Mississippi and all the other southern states. On swoltering summer days and crisp autumn mornings I have looked at
her beautiful churches with their spires pointing heavenward. I have beheld the impressive outlay of her massive religious education buildings. Over and over again I have found
myself asking: "Who worships hero? Who is their God? Where were their voices when the lips of Governor Barett dripped with words of interposition and nullification? Where
were their voices of support when tired, bruised, and weary Negro men and women decided to rise from the dark dungeons of complacency to the bright hills of creative
protest?
[10] There was a time when the Church was very powerful ... In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion;
it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict
them for being disturbers of the peace and outside agitators." Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain
sound. It is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled
by the Church's silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.
